Snow Grooming Equipment and expertise. Pilot project with Parks Canada since 2016 for winter grooming on Burls & Bittersweet trail in RMNP continues in 2017-2018 season for winter cycling. Dead OX Trailblazers are part of the Riding Mountain Trail Stewards that volunteer to groom trails in RMNP. This is a temporary fix to a problem that occurred due to cuts in federal funding to RMNP. Dead Ox Trailblazers encourage trail users to write to your MP to have RMNP winter services like trail grooming reinstated in the park.

Trail Build Reeve Ravine. Dead Ox Trailblazers have a volunteer agreement with RMNP to help maintain, build and groom Reeves Ravine mountain bike trail on the east side of RMNP. This is an intermediate (blue) mountain bike trail built by bikers with great vistas built on the Manitoba escarpment . Our hope is that more trails will be designed & built in the East Gate area to create a destination biking area in RMNP.
